Hiking in Martelange: The Passerelle des Oiseaux
Through this blog post, we take you on the trails of a hike that we enjoyed very much in the Belgian Ardennes. A nature walk we took during our stay at the Nutchel Cabins, in southern Belgium.
Easy loop hike in the Anlier Forest.
Starting from the village of Martelange, we completed this remarkable 4-kilometer hike that passes through the Passerelle des Oiseaux and the Anlier Forest.
The Bird's Footbridge
The Bird's Footbridge is a magnificent 150-meter wooden suspension bridge in Martelange. This wooden structure spans the Sûre river, which originates about twenty kilometers away in Vaux-les-Rosières. Along the path, you'll find informative panels that tell you more about the local fauna. Don't forget to climb to the top of the nearby observation tower to admire the remarkable panoramic views of the surrounding area.
The Nature Park of the Haute Sure and the Anlier Forest
Exiting the observation tower, we turn right and leave the village of Martelange to delve into the Anlier Forest, recognized as a Belgian Nature Park. This part of the hike is an immersive experience in one of Belgium's largest forests, with only the resident birds for company. Sunlight streams through the pine branches, creating a scene straight out of a fairytale. It's with our batteries fully recharged by this immersive nature walk that we return to our starting point.
